Reader. Learner. Writer. Crossworder. Foodie. Tar Heel.
Alessandra Quattrochi is an Executive Fellow for EducationNC. She grew up in Miami, Florida, and attended public school throughout her life — to which she owes all her success. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in May 2022 with a B.A. in Public Policy and Political Science and a minor in Spanish for the Legal Profession. While in college, she conducted independent research, authored a senior honors thesis in the Political Science Department, and was a John M. Belk Impact Fellow at EducationNC. She likes to spend her spare time with her doggies, at the beach, or frequenting any and all local farmer’s markets! Her long-term goals include going to law school, second only to her goal of one day conquering the New York Times’ Sunday crossword puzzle in record time.
